What do web design agencies specifically do when getting requests to set up e-mail marketing(templates etc).

Do you first ask the client if they're using mailchimp? Or another company's database? Or should you not even ask that? In what way can you whitelabel an igorant client that just wants a nice e-mail template.

 

What are the steps and add-ons to charge for. Should you do it all yourself and just make a mailchimp account for yourself and send e-mails out per their request, or do you make a mailchimp account and give them the credentials for that? (which is easiest but would take away any recurring revenue - only revenue I see in this model is the design for the template, which I'd find odd to charge or design for as Mailchimp has tons of templates of their own)

 

I want to know the revenue model and way agencies do it right now. I'm here to learn.

I don't see what a design agency is here for if these Mailchimp companies have so many templates of their own already.

Please help and give me some insight on this. Thanks

Anyone? No one in the e-mail marketing business? Is it not worth it?

I guess you only need to have large number of email accounts and you can send an email with an introduction of your company and your offers. There are many email marketing programs out there like MailChimp and Constant Contact, you can use any one of these for your email marketing.

For a business it's not worth having Mailchimp for e-mail marketing alone. We need a complete software to manage all this like invoices, contacts and followup on the work. Calendar to work smart at work.Many other Apps such as financial, Expenses related to business. Then it should also include e-mail marketing services. Software companies like Zoho, Apptivo and Sales force offers it why do we need to choose Mailchimp.
